Special features of the lighting functions
If the switch is set to "side lights" or "OFF" and the vehicle exceeds a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h), the "AUTO" position is automatically selected. The daytime running lights are switched off during the turn signal procedure, and the side lights are active in the turn signal dark phase and dimmed when the turn signals are active.
Service
The control module installed on the outside of the head-light housing, the fan, and the output module for matrix headlight can be replaced in the event of a defect. Because the output module for matrix headlight is located inside the headlight, the ESD (electrostatic discharge) mat VAS 6613 must be used if the module is replaced. It is not possible to replace individual lights.
Equipment
A headlight washer system is standard on vehicles with matrix LED headlights.
Headlight range adjustment
The matrix LED headlights are equipped with automatic dynamic headlight range adjustment.

Light signature
This set of images shows the most important lighting functions of a set of matrix LED headlights with laser high beams.
The illustrations show the lighting functions of a set of headlights in the European version.
The laser high beams cannot be operated when the vehicle is stationary. The function is considered to be OK if there are no DTCs stored in the control module..

Tail lights
General description
The tail lights on the 2019 A7 are in three sections; two tail lights at the left and right sides and a light unit which covers the entire width of the rear lid.
Left Tail Lamp MX3
Right Tail Lamp MX4
Center Tail Lamp MX13
Versions
The tail lights appear in the following two versions: The tail light versions are geometrically identical.
On the dynamic tail lights, the LEDs are activated at differ-ent momdiffer-ents as part of the "coming/leaving home" func-tion. This allows an impressive light pattern to be pre-sented when the vehicle is opened or locked with the central locking system.
In addition to the three tail lights, the Audi A7 also has a high-level brake light. Only LED lights are used.

Activation
The tail lights are activated by Comfort System Central Control Module J393. On the 8SQ version, the tail lights are connected to J393 via a LIN data wire in addition to the discrete wires. The dynamic turn signal and dynamic tail light commands are sent via the LIN data wire.
